Patient/Client-Related Instruction

Advise patient about the risk of daytime drowsiness and decreased attention and mental focus. Although the risk of drowsiness is lower with this drug compared to traditional antihistamines, patients should use care if driving or in other activities that require quick reactions and strong concentration.

Advise patient to avoid alcohol and other CNS depressants because of the increased risk of sedation and adverse effects.

Instruct patient to report other troublesome side effects, including menstrual irregularities or upset stomach.
